KUOE KYOTO WATCH: ROYAL SMITH 90-008 SILVER

KUOE Royal Smith 90-008 – Vintage elegance in a modern format

The Royal Smith 90-008 is one of KUOE's premium models, inspired by 1940s watches with its compact 34mm cushion case, 11mm thickness, and 41mm lug width. Hand-applied Breguet numerals and a fine-grained textured dial lend it depth and authenticity.

It is powered by the Citizen Miyota 9039 caliber, a high-beat automatic movement with a frequency of 28,800 A/h , a 42-hour power reserve , and an accuracy of -10/+30 s/day. This movement is partly responsible for the Royal Smith 90-008's slim profile.

The polished and brushed 316L stainless steel case is protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and a matching transparent case back . The watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 m).

Delivered on a Lychee leather or rice grain steel bracelet , the Royal Smith 90-008 offers a comfortable and vintage fit. It includes a second Lychee leather strap regardless of the first one chosen, allowing for easy style changes. All bracelets are equipped with quick-release spring bars.

The Silver/Gold model combines a polished steel case with gold numerals and hands, for a chic touch without ostentation.
